Upper back anatomy, artwork
Upper back anatomy, computer artwork. The muscles either side of the neck that attach to the shoulder blades (scapulae) are the levator scapulae muscles. The rhomboid muscles span the back between the shoulder blade and spine. The rhomboid minor muscles are the thinner pair at top, the rhomboid major muscles are the larger lower pair. Innervating the rhomboid muscles are the dorsal scapular nerves

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate upper back anatomy of a human body. The computer-generated image highlights the muscles on either side of the neck that connect to the shoulder blades, known as levator scapulae muscles. Spanning across the back between the shoulder blade and spine are the rhomboid muscles, with the thinner pair called rhomboid minor at the top and larger lower pair known as rhomboid major. The detailed illustration emphasizes various components of this anatomical region, including bones, nerves, tendons, and vertebrae. It provides a comprehensive view of how these elements work together to support our musculoskeletal system. The dorsal scapular nerves innervate these rhomboid muscles, playing a crucial role in their functioning. This print serves as an educational tool for students studying biology or anyone interested in understanding human anatomy better. It sheds light on both normal structure and function within our bodies' complex systems. With its emphasis on healthy muscle development and proper alignment of bones, it reminds us of how essential it is to maintain good posture and take care of our backs. Science Photo Library continues to deliver exceptional visual resources like this artwork that contribute significantly to scientific education worldwide without commercial intent.
